Forget your Bushell’s, Lipton and Dilmah tea bags – tea has gone boutique! While many of us rely on coffee to get prepared for the day ahead, the trend toward replacing java with healthy and energising teas is steadily growing. Victorian tea company Deitea Tea is leading the charge in natural botanical blends that relax and fortify the immune system while offering great taste and plenty of variety. Deitea Tea blends some of the world’s finest ingredients from accredited tea estates around the world while also imbuing each batch with flowers, fruit and herbs.

The range of flavours is seriously impressive – with a dozen of exotic and familiar concoctions on offer. Classic tea blends such as Earl Grey, chai and mint are available, as is decadent flavours such as the rich Absolute Assam, White Wedding’s blend of fruits and floral notes and Jardin De Fleur, which mixes Japanese sencha, passionfruit and marigolds. Aside from the relaxing and detoxifying benefits, Deitea Tea also offers some extra health benefits. Mothers Love is a caffeine-free blend, boasting raspberry leaf that reportedly helps ease labour pains of expecting mothers, while Lemongrass & Ginger provides relief from stomach disorders and various aches.
